Just found out how tripping actually works

[saucySheep]

So i looked it up and found out that luck still isn't technically a mechanic in the game. the tripping thing they added in the wave 2 summer update can only be triggered by 2 things that were also added:
1: king tut mask. this is a weird looking hat diy recipe that you can learn if you get a gold nugget from a rock and pick it up. (apparently it makes you think of royalty, lol). I got this diy recipe unbeknownst that it actually triggers tripping if you wear it... i never crafted it but im totally gonna today
2: balloons. holding a balloon and running can, actually, make you trip. i saw some dude post about this here actually and he was like "i was running and i tripped and i lost my balloooonn!!!" (it was kinda funny, actually....)

so, yeah. lucky or unlucky days still technically aren't a thing, or at least i don't think they are..... so..... i guess if you wanna eat dirt today you can do this : P xdddd

Yeah my dumb guy friend was trying to show me him tripping with the mask on and the balloons.

Just watched him scrap his face on the ground. Maniacs everywhere.

@saucySheep
He lost all his balloons. Then when he equipped the King Tut mask, he fell on the beach rocks.

I just watched my friend smash his face into oblivion, lol.

Is there no way of tripping without the mask or balloons? I want to be tripped , but I don’t hold balloons or wear masks

Keep your fingers crossed for a Katrina update that includes luck, I suppose.

Oh dang I thought they brought unlucky days back ): I guess it’s just item based unluckiness then but that’s cool, ty for the info!

 

[Your Local Wild Child]

I got my character to trip on purpose via balloon. I got a lot of flak for that but come on it’s hilarious

tripping is legitimately the funniest thing that's been added to nh so far lmao

 

[Your Local Wild Child]

I also like the idea that the king tut mask tripping is caused by your character’s dumb hubris and delusions of royalty. Ya could’ve made something practical with that gold but instead ya went and made a heavy helmet that makes ya face plant every 20 seconds lol

I’m college-aged but I got a lot of interesting words from advanced English and spelling classes in middle-high school. And yeah I love the irony though I’ve never used that method to trip (I NEED to see his face).

ahh neat. freakin freshman over here but i love words and im glad my teacher is making us learn new ones (even if i actually already know some of them... like whimsical, c'mon who hasn't heard that word lol)

and oooh i should try the balloon method bc f a c e xddd my character would be such a dope

I also lost my balloon to a tripping accident It was so shiny and red but then suddenly all I saw was dirt and dust and it was gone.

I am really careful with my balloons now.

@Your Local Wild Child I still can't believe you would sacrifice one on purpose. This is why your island is cursed!

Nah the island was cursed before I got there. I’m just a fixture in it now, so I have to do stuff like that

 

[Foreverfox]

Bahahaha, this whole thread.

 

[Fye]

I've been away from animal crossing for so long that I didn't realize they introduced balloons to new horizons time to trip up my characters

Well it certainly isn't helping. You just don't make fun of stuff like that! I nearly broke my boppers too

It takes so much self control not to run with those things...
